Sam Merrifield Library

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Sam Merriefield has more space after the epidemic. The Community Lounge idea seems to have taken off, it's a new direction for the library. The meeting rooms are still available, book early if you want to usse them. By the way, there is free wifi, it's very popular. Parking is not usually a problem, especially on weekends and after hours.

Ringwood Library

Reviewed By petermY2777LY - Melbourne, Australia

This was opened on October 29 2015 with a refurbishment of Eastland. The previous libary was puled down. It has a cafeteria and Maroondah City Council offices on the ground floor and library on the first floor. On the second floor are workshops and maybe after corona is finished a walk way to the new Maroondah Council offices. Half the computers are closed due to corona but their is still usually plenty. The library is not closed between 1-00Pm and 2-00Pm now for cleaning and there is no one there to make sure you sign in as before you needed to be signed in if no mobile. The first library in Warrandyte Road is now Vic Roads offices

Wheelers Hill Branch Library

Reviewed By normgray6 - Ferntree Gully, Australia

This library has the best of views in my opinion and the perfect place to sit & read the current issue of one of several magazines or a book while overlooking the parkland and lake. Access to parking from either Jells or Ferntree Gully Roads.

On a hot day the Library is a great refuge. In the basement (via lift or stairs) there are public toilets and comfortable seats. Just the place to rest and gather your strength for another expedition.

Ascot Vale Public Library

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The Ascot Vale Library is on the corner of Union Road and St Leonard's Road. It has large corner windows, which brighten up the Library. It has a convenient magazine corner. The Library also has an extensive DVD collection. Its monograph collection includes fiction and some interesting biographies. The seed library is interesting -- you take the seeds, grow the plants and when they turn to seed, you return the new seeds to the Library. The Library also has computers. One intriguing feature is the Book Nook, where families can read together. The Ascot Vale Library is a member of the Moonee Valley Regional Library Service.
